Characters.BorutoTeam7: Mitsuki suffers strong bouts of this growing up, feeling that he isn't truly human and questioned his own will, wondering if it was really his or if it was merely synthetic. He gets better after a journey to the Hidden Stone Village and getting intimately involved in the cloning plot there.

ElGoonishShive.Tropes A To E: Played depressingly straight at first. When Ellen was accidentally created, she freaked out, with good reason. She had all of Elliot's memories, but suffered Loss of Identity since she could never get back his old life, and all of his friends were now essentially strangers she only knew about secondhand. She was permanently stuck in female form, something the original Elliot was so desperate to escape that he resorted to using a dangerous magical artifact he clearly didn't understand rather than risk spending (at most) a few more weeks in that form. Ellen also had reason to believe she might have less than a month to live, and feared she'd spend that time locked up in a research facility as a test subject. She went a little crazy, and as a coping mechanism, tried being an Evil Twin for a while, which only made her more miserable. However, this trope was subverted in the long run. Ellen learned her fears of an imminent demise or being locked up for study had no basis in reality. Elliot's friends welcomed her warmly and treated her like a normal individual, rather than just an accidental female copy of someone they knew. Elliot became fiercely protective of her, treating her as a cross between a little sister and a daughter, rather than the Evil Twin she had tried to be. Even Elliot's parents accepted her surprisingly easily, given the circumstances. Ellen eventually developed her own personality and became a major character in her own right, as well as an unprecedented solution to an earlier Love Triangle.

Characters.Rick And Morty Beth Smith: The season 3 finale has her freaking out over the possibility that she's just a clone that the original Beth had Rick create so that the original could go off and have space adventures. She spends most of the episode worried Rick will kill her for "pulling a Blade Runner" only for Rick to reveal she's not a clone at all. Then the season 4 finale reveals this might not be the case. Rick did clone Beth, one of them did go off into space and the other did stay home to raise her kids, with both believing themselves to be the original. By the end of the episode, neither Beth cares which is the original, both are happy with their lives as they are, and not even the rest of the family cares since Morty and Summer get two cool moms and Jerry gets a happy marriage. The only "blues" that comes from the cloning comes from Rick when he watches his deleted memory of the cloning and sees that he intentionally made it impossible to know which Beth is the original because he didn't want to answer Beth's question in "The ABC's of Beth": Does he want his daughter to go or stay so she can be a part of his life? Which the creators say was her way of asking what kind of daughter did he want her to be, one like him or one that's the opposite, and cloning her was essentially a non-answer he doubled down on. Watching the memory has Rick sadly admitting to himself what a piece of shit father he is.

Characters.Rosenkreuzstilette: She is an homunculus crafted by Iris, using Freudia as template, and is overcome by the obsession to surpass the original, to the point of becoming murderously angry the moment she enters her field of view.

Characters.Star Wars Classic Era: One of the more famous Legends examples. He was created via a method notorious for growing clones that turned out to be unstable, and subsequently went off the deep end in adulthood. Throw in his template being a Dark Side-prone Jedi supremacist, and he was a time bomb waiting to go off.

Characters.Splatoon Inkopolis And Splatsville: He's a clone of Judd, and the game's official relationship chart reveals his... feelings on the matter. Splatoon 3 takes it further by having him plot to kill Judd.

Li'l Judd: I've known from the moment of my birth that I'm just a replica of you. How could you ever understand my feelings?!

AntiVillain.The DCU: Bizarro from Superman: The Animated Series. A flawed clone of Superman, he has a good heart and just wants to help, since he truly believes (at first) that he's the real Superman, it's just his help involves stuff like "saving" a building being lawfully demolishing and "fixing" a movable bridge.

ArchEnemy.Anime And Manga: From the sequel UQ Holder!, Touta Konoe has one in Tena "Cutlass" Vita, who, like him, is a clone of Negi from a failed experiment to replicate Negi and Asuna Kagurazaka's powers. She has a loathing for immortal beings (and anyone who leads a "privileged" life) in general but has a particular ax to grind against Tota for his optimism and, like Fate above, carries out especially vicious attacks on Touta and his friends. Also similarly to the Negi-Fate dynamic, Cutlass' curb-stomping of Touta is part of what motivates him to get stronger. It finally culminates in Cutlass orchestrating an elaborate terrorist attack to force a Sadistic Choice on Touta to psychologically break him, a plot that ends with Yukihime killing her.

FauxAffablyEvil.Anime And Manga: Glemmy Toto of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is polite and quirky and initially seems to be a Laughably Evil Noble Demon who is in over his head with Haman Khan and her army. He's actually far more evil than Haman could ever hope to be, is the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler wannabe Gihren Zabi, and has plans that involve armies of mass-produced psychic cloned Child Soldiers. Some of his lines suggest that, behind the charismatic facade he is screaming on the inside.

Characters.Xenogears: Finding out he's a clone of Emperor Cain isn't the final nail in the coffin of his sanity, but it's pretty damn close to it.

Characters.Aquarion Logos: She doesn't take it well when she finds out she's a mere replica of Nesta created from Subete's verbalism power.

CorruptedCharacterCopy.Western Animation: Galatea from Justice League Unlimited has Power Girl's costume with a smaller Cleavage Window and no cape. She's a clone of Supergirl who's sadistic and hates Supergirl because her very existence reminds her that she's just a clone.

Anime.PokemonTheFirstMovie: Mewtwo has a pretty severe case of this.

Characters.Metal Gear Solid: The main reason for his behavior and resentment of Big Boss.

Anime.PokemonMewtwoReturns: All of the clones to an extent, but mainly Mewtwo and the Pikachu clone.

Characters.Mega Man ZX: He finds out that he's Master Albert's defective backup body. He later decides that he doesn't care.

Characters.Star Gladiator^note No, seriously, it's just the trope name and that's it.

Characters.Austin Powers: Defied; he never shows any problems being a clone of Dr. Evil and loves him like a father. That is, until he's replaced by Dr. Evil's son Scott.

Characters.Spider Girl: Angsts about the possibility a few times, but not nearly as much as April.

StableTimeLoop.Live Action TV: The Flash (2014) reveals near the end of Season 3 that Savitar is at the center of one of these: in an attempt to defeat Savitar, Future Barry created a series of time remnants, all but one of which were killed. That last one was rejected by Barry and the others, which caused it to eventually go insane from emotional pain. Deciding that the only way to avoid this was to become a god, the remnant went back in time, becoming Savitar in the first place.

AlternativeCharacterInterpretation.Young Justice 2010: Jade leaving her husband and daughter. Did she abandon her family simply because she couldn't adjust to a normal life, or is there clearly something more going on and she left to protect them? The show has so far kept the circumstances of her leaving vague, but it's clear that it wasn't the result of any kind of disagreement between her and Will, as he gives every indication he would welcome her back with open arms. Given one of Jade's more positive traits has been that she genuinely loves her family (excluding her father), is it believable she would just up and abandon them (not even getting into the fact she went to a lot of trouble helping Will resolve his issues so Lian could have a father), or does the fact she left Artemis behind as soon as she was old enough to make it on her own show she can still be selfish even if she does love her family? Season 4's ultimate answer is that she doesn't want to be a bad influence on her family, Artemis is barely able to get her to agree to come home, only for Jade to panic and run away again when Lian wears a likeness of her mother's mask over the phone.

AnimalMotifs.Video Games: The Snakes we meet throughout the series are all sneaky natural predators, although in different ways. They are kind of a Legacy Character, so the 'Snake' is perhaps being used in its more mystical sense to represent death and rebirth, or the circle of infinity. The opening credits of Metal Gear Solid 2 likens DNA strands to snakes, which is appropriate considering the Cloning Blues that affects all of the Snakes.

Fanfic.SMB Cloning Blues: Apricot.

GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.Video Games: In Final Fantasy XV, "Episode Prompto", Aranea, frustrated with Prompto's Cloning Blues, knocks him over and grabs his face, telling him that he has to figure out what he wants to be.

Characters.Gantz: Since it basically copies people the moment before they are killed (or at least, not fatally injured), Hunters who think on it end up with this.

Characters.Samurai Deeper Kyo Juyushi: After finding out that forest-dwellers like himself are Mibu genetic experiments, he struggles with self-worth and worries that Yukimura will see him as a monster. It gets even worse when he encounters the other "rare breed" children, all of whom look like him and have the Crimson Eyes.

VideoGame.Utawarerumono Mask Of Truth:

• Woshis tries to make Anju break down by telling her that she's just a copy of the emperor's true daughter, but with her friends' support she gets back on her feet and rejects him. It's implied she may be closer to a reincarnation, however, because she has dreams of the original Anju's life even though she was never made to have such things.
• Immediately after, this is turned on Woshis when he learns that he's the emperor's clone. However, the emperor and Honoka really did view him as their child.

Characters.Star Fox Main Antagonists: In the Nintendo Power comic, two clones of Andross were made after he was killed, and they turned out not to be completely identical - besides being dressed in different colors. One clone remembered Vixy, a married woman who the original Andross loved (for a given definition of loved), but had unintentionally killed years ago in an attempt to kill her husband. The other clone didn't remember Vixy at all. The one clone publically apologized for killing Vixy, and the other clone quickly kills him for being soft.

Analysis.Brain Uploading: Assuming nondestructive, undetectable uploading, is uploading without consent of the original a crime? What if the original objects, but the upload doesn't want to be deleted? What about uploading dead people who specified they didn't want to be uploaded after death? And how do the original and the copy feel about no longer being unique?

DarkAndTroubledPast.Anime And Manga: The Gundam franchise has quite a bit of this. From characters growing up as orphaned Child Soldiers in Gundam Wing and Gundam 00 to Gundam Unicorn, where one character manages to have a past that includes knowing she's a clone and being used as an underage sex slave in a brothel. Apparently, to put across the War Is Hell message, one must use soldiers who have messed-up pasts.

ComicBook.TheDeathOfSuperman: The Metropolis Kid (Superboy): A reckless, fame-seeking teenage (assumed) clone created by a secret government project. He cheerfully admits to being a clone, and plans to become Superman's successor. Don't ever call him Superboy. Featured in Adventures of Superman.

Characters.Xenosaga: He, like the rest of the URTV army, is a child clone of mad scientist Dmitri Yuriev.

Film.ResidentEvilRetribution: Like before, Umbrella has cloned Alice. It has also cloned Carlos, Rain, and One. Ada explains that Umbrella has fifty basic models, which are produced en masse to populate the simulations. Becky, presumably a child clone of one of their base models, is the only clone who lives long enough to find out the truth. Ada implies, but never outright says, that Alice herself may be a clone while talking about Mom!Alice.

EvilIsSexy.Video Games: There's a sizable list, so let's get this over with: Mature and Vice (Rugal's former secretaries and a rare evil example of Lovely Angels), Yashiro Nanakase and Shermie (the teammates of Chris, the aforementioned cute little boy who becomes Orochi; he's a fun-loving, easy-going White Hair, Black Heart type and she's a redheaded, flirtatious ditz), Krizalid (an older clone of K'), Angel (cheery assassin who goes as far as to give players a striptease in one of her win poses), Original Zero (civil and polite high-ranking member of NESTS who wants nothing more than a fair fight and is easily the most venerable member of his cartel), Kusanagi (evil magical doppelganger of series' protagonist Kyo), and Shion (Magaki's underling who kills him after Magaki's failed death attempt). Of the above list, all of the females are beautiful and noticeably endowed, while the guys are quite handsome (Shion notwithstanding; he's quite feminine-looking).

Characters.Adventure Time Minor: Princess Bubblegum clones him every time he dies.

Characters.Alias: Was "doubled" as part of Project Helix. Luckily, the Irina that Jack executes over her attempts to kill Sydney isn't the real one.

Characters.Blaz Blue Calamity Trigger 2: She, like the Murakumo Units before her, are all clones of Saya.

Characters.Fushigi Yuugi: There's more than one of her, and they're all the same.

Characters.Star Trek Lower Decks: Is created from a transporter malfunction similar to the one that created Thomas Riker. Though in this version, the clone ends up being the one who prospers in Starfleet, getting to stay a lieutenant on the Titan, while the original Boimler is demoted and sent back to the Cerritos.

Characters.Star Fox Main Antagonists: Andross was cloned in the Nintendo Power comic and "reconstructed" in Farewell, Beloved Falco.

Webcomic.Cyanide And Happiness: An unusual take in this strip.^note This example was commented out.

SparedByTheAdaptation.Anime And Manga: The second Rei Ayanami still pulls a Heroic Sacrifice in Rebuild of Evangelion and ends up being swallowed alive by the Eldritch Abomination she was fighting - This time, however, her love interest (and half-brother... sorta) Shinji rips her directly out of the bastard and saves her life. The third movie then reveals that she survived, but is trapped inside the core of Unit-01 alongside the soul of Shinji's mother.

AbusiveParents.Spider Man: One of Ben Reilly's girlfriends, Elizabeth Tyne, who decided to become a Self-Made Orphan. Made worse in Spider-Girl of all universes, where it's implied that after turning herself in, Elizabeth spent the rest of her life in prison for killing the jerk. Oh, and her son ends up being (physically) abused by her family, too.

ActionDad.Marvel Universe: Kaine also shows this trait from time to time when his "niece" is in danger. Must be genetic.

AllLoveIsUnrequited.Video Games: As of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, everything gets mixed around. Jin's "attraction" to Ragna is revealed to be the result of his desire to free his older brother from his suffering. Unfortunately, Yukianesa drove him insane and his fairly innocent wish to help his sibling ended up as as insane, borderline-incestuous desire to kill him. Ragna also comes to accept Noel more, but only as a sister figure to him (which makes total sense given that she's a clone of his real sister). Finally, Tsubaki and Jin have something of an Unrequited Love Switcheroo: he goes utterly apeshit every time somebody hurts her, whereas she pulls a Face–Heel Turn after crossing the Despair Event Horizon based on the knowledge that Noel basically stole her destiny. It's not until the next game that all of this is sorted out once Jin breaks Tsubaki out of her More than Mind Control at the hands of the villains, though Jin and Tsubaki's reunion (and implied rekindling of their Childhood Friend Romance) is cut short by Jin being hospitalized in the aftermath of the Big Bad forcing Ragna to temporarily undergo a Face–Monster Turn, leading Tsubaki to swear vengeance on Ragna. It's that kind of series.

AllLoveIsUnrequited.Western Animation: Gargoyles: Brooklyn loves Angela who loves Broadway. Brooklyn also loves Maggie who loves Talon. In the comics, Brooklyn also loves Delilah who loves Malibu (which is especially disheartening, since he's Brooklyn's own clone). The Magus loves Princess Katherine who loves Tom. Iago wants Desdemona who loves Othello. Goliath loves Elisa who loves him back, but is hesitant to get involved in an Interspecies Romance. Meanwhile Demona loves Goliath and sublimates that by dating his clone Thailog, who pretends to love her while she pretends to love Macbeth, who loves her as long as he doesn't know whom she really is. Leo loves Una who loves Griff (though when Griff vanishes they get together). Halcyon still loves his ex-wife Anastasia, but she's back with her first husband, Oberon. As you can see, it's sort of a recurring theme here. About the only exception involves Xanatos and Fox. Evil, but somehow actually stable.

AmericanDad.Tropes A To E: Stan uses CIA technology to make a clone of Steve so he could prove to Francine that his way of raising teenagers is the right way.

AndIMustScream.Video Games: Trilby gets this treatment in Yahtzee's Six Days A Sacrifice, where he or one of his clones is absorbed into Chzo's body to suffer for eternity beyond casual interpretations of space and time. The same goes for Cabadath, an ancient druid who summoned but failed to control Chzo ages ago, and whose soul was joined to a tree, essentially granting him immortality and allowing him to manifest himself as The Prince to whoever disturbs the wood of the tree.

AntiHero.Video Games: Iori Yagami, introduced in The King of Fighters '95 as an enemy (and later The Rival) of series protagonist Kyo Kusanagi. K' (from KOF '99), one of Kyo's many clones, is also like this, though he brings more stoicism to the table in contrast to Iori's occasional bouts of madness.

AtopTheFourthWall.Tropes A To D: Cool Versus Awesome: One of his biggest complaints about some of the comics he reviews (including invoked Bearded Idiot: At Earths End, ) authors fail to take advantage of this. In the aforementioned Bearded Idiot comic, he replies:

Linkara: Wait a second. It's Superman... fighting twin clones of Hitler... in the future... This comic is starting to get awesome! (seconds later, after Bearded Idiot runs away) SCREW YOU, SUPER-SANTA!

EliteMooks.Video Games: Akatsuki Blitzkampf has the Elektrosoldats, who are the cloned Praetorian Guard of the Gessellschaft Society and are equipped with copies of the game's MacGuffins, the Blitz Engine. One of them is a playable character and seeks to break free from the group.

Film.Oblivion 2013: Chekhov's Gun/Brick Joke: Jack's recurring dream about a viewfinder on the Empire State Building. It's where the original Jack Harper proposed marriage to Julia.

FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends.Tropes A To D: Cloning Bloos: In "Bloo's Brothers", where several of Mac's classmates are inspired by Bloo to create their own versions of Bloo who all have something wrong with them.

GenkiGirl.Anime And Manga: A Certain Magical Index: Last Order, a.k.a. MISAKA #20001, originally started as an Emotionless Girl like her fellow Misaka clones, but when the scientists in charge of Project Radio Noise uploaded a personality program into the Misaka Network, Last Order (the network admin) intercepted the program for herself, hence the genkiness, unlike her Radio Noise clones, Misaka Worst, or Misaka Mikoto.

HappilyAdopted.Anime And Manga: Fate readily accepts being adopted by Admiral Lindy after working through her issues with Precia, her creator.

HonkaiImpact3rd.Tropes S To Z: Wham Shot: In the special chapter "Everlasting Memory", there's a shot of child Kiana, cuffed and blindfolded, accompanied with Otto mentioning about how he has Kiana in his custody. It foreshadows that the Kiana that we know is actually Experimental body K423.

HumanityIsInfectious.Video Games: Einst Alfimi is an Eldritch Abomination in human form. She was created to be a soulless, emotionless replacement for mankind once they were wiped off the face of the universe. Unfortunately for the Einst, she was created from a sample obtained from the local Hard-Drinking Party Girl and Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Excellen Browning. After several fights with the protagonists, she abruptly switches sides after hearing Excellen's love interest deliver a Patrick Stewart Speech to her boss.

AmericanDad.Tropes A To E: Played in a more depressingly serious manner for Steven and Snot themselves, who went to perverted lengths to acquire the DNA of the two girls they wanted to take to the prom and clone them, only to find that they started off as babies and quickly grew up over the next few days. When Stan learns what they did, he has to kill them off. Even if he hadn't shot them, Steve quickly learned that their bodies begin to shut down once they reach the age of the girls they were cloned from, and his own "daughter" dies before him. Stan caps her anyways just to be sure.

EnsembleDarkHorse.Transformers: Soundblaster gained a few fans for being made a separate character from Soundwave, as a self-serving crime boss with Cloning Blues. His appearance here is the basis for later versions of Soundblaster in Transformers (2019) and Transformers: Cyberverse.
